Benedict Augustine teaches English at a high school in the Dallas area. He is a great admirer of St. Augustine and Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI, hence his pseudonym Benedict Augustine. When he is not grading huge stacks of students’ essays, he enjoys spending time with his wife and cat, reading the classics, and commenting on various cultural issues. He previously wrote for the Catholic blog, Meditations of Fr. Alfonse (http://fralfonse.blogspot.com).
